Katherine Kovacic The Portrait of Molly Dean In 1999 art dealer Alex Clayton stumbles across a lost portrait of Molly Dean, an artist’s muse brutally slain in Melbourne in 1930. Alex buys the painting and seeks to uncover what really happened, but finds strange inconsistencies in the case. Why was the main suspect never brought to trial? And why are vital records missing? ‘A swirl of history, art, intrigue and murder that brings 1930s Melbourne to life’ — Gideon Haigh Courtesy of Echo Publishing   Mareike Krugel Look at Me The fourth novel from this prize-winning German writer. Katharina’s husband isn’t coming home for the weekend – again – so she’s on her own. When she’s got her children and the household organised – and decided whether or not to seduce her old friend from college –  perhaps she’ll have time to think about the lump she’s found in her breast. Because you can’t just die and leave a huge mess for someone else to clean up, can you? Courtesy of Text Publishing   Micheline Jenner The Secret Life of Whales Marine biologist Micheline Jenner shares her insights into how whales live – how they migrate, feed, breed and look after their young – and her world-leading conservation work. ‘Australia’s whales are lucky to have had observers, admirers and protectors like Micheline Jenner. But so are the citizens of this island nation, for the Jenners have not only advanced our scientific knowledge, they’ve enriched our culture.’ — Tim Winton Courtesy of NewSouth Publishing Daniel Shand Fallow Two brothers elude a press witchhunt by hiding out in the remote wilds of highland Scotland. One of them is a murderer. But it’s the other you have to watch out for … ‘A road trip, a modern Biblical prable, and a tense psychological thriller with echoes of Cormac McCarthy’ — Joanne Harris ‘A tense and suspenseful road trip to damnation’ — Sunday Herald   Remember, to enter email editors@newtownreviewofbooks.com.au with ‘Autumn 3’ in the subject line and your name and address in the body of the email by midnight tonight, Tuesday 27 March 2018.
